The screen behind which I sit allows me freedom to interact without feeling restricted by others as I normally would be in a social climate; that's my excuse.

With me it depends on the situation and my surroundings. There are situations in which I'm the life of the party and other times when I'm a wallflower and super quiet. In some ways I'm a different person to the variety of people I know. Some people think I'm quiet, shy and retiring and to others I'm funny and outgoing. My personality shifts from place to place. I'm a chameleon.

For me, it gives me time to say what I want without bring interrupted. I'll find a link or name of a study that shows that writing is better for thinking. You are better able to correct your thoughts and present them.

I traditionally don't do these, because I like to remain in denial that my personality can actually be measured - but also, because most are just bullshit and/or virus opportunities (obviously).

Have taken this one though, per her assurances, and for a 'quickie' - it was intriguingly on point. Will admit though - still haven't taken the time to give it the 'horoscope test' yet though (all 16 result variants are fully browsable)...

It's clearly meant to distinguish between P and J, but it lacks any specificity. This is why I'm usually only a slight P on these quizzes. E vs I questions are pretty cut and dry for me, but I find it difficult to give generalized answers to questions about "just generally following rules." What kind of rules, the "tested methodology" kind, or the "hegemonic woo" kind?

Not quite the same. Horoscopes are Barnum statements, but MBTI results are more an exercise in self-selection bias.

We've had these threads in the past. Most people here are introverts. In fact, let me get all psychology up in this bitch.

The Average TTA User As Defined By Dr Muffs:

The average TTA user is an introvert who favours being alone to socialising. Though they are fully capable of socialising and functioning just fine in society and thus are often falsely assumed to enjoy socialising with their peers when really all they wanna do is go home and read a book or do some gardening or something.

They have a good grasp of how the world operates and are of high intelligence compared to the rest of society. For this, they tend to view humanity in a poor light and often see the negative side of human idiocy. They favour rational thinking over emotional 'thinking' and often look at things logically (thus the atheism).
